At PSCA General Membership meeting on January 3, Board President Christine Knapp reminded attendees that they can still take advantage of a program run by EnergyWorks to make low-cost home energy assessments and reduced cost home energy efficiency improvements available to members of the Passsyunk Square Civic Association.

EnergyWorks brings together all available rebates, tax credits and low-interest financing for home energy improvements. Through the EnergyWorks Select Partnership neighborhood associations, civic groups, faith-based and community-based organizations can receive group discounts on home energy assessments, and in some cases the contracted work. Neighbors or group members come together and act as a buying group, thus bringing down the price and saving time and energy for everyone.

Since EnergyWorks has over one hundred registered building analysts and contractors, Select Partners get to choose from a preferred list of contractors and analysts that have demonstrated exceptional work, financial stability and who participate in a unique discount purchasing program offered through the Keystone Energy Efficiency Alliance which allows them to provide additional savings to the homeowner on energy efficiency materials and products.

PSCA has signed up for the EnergyWorks Select Partnership, and we have had a number of households sign up already. Those who would like to register their interest can do so through an online intake form here.

Under “How did you find out about us?” choose “Other” and enter Passyunk.org. For “Are you a member of a Home Owners Association?” choose yes and enter “Passyunk Square Civic Association” in the next field after that.

Please fill out the intake form online or come to the meeting to sign up and save money and energy in your home this winter!
